Optics and Lenses - This forum is aimed towards the TECHNICAL side of photographic OPTICS and LENSES. There will be some overlap by camera/manufacturer, but this forum is for the heavy duty tech discussions. This is NOT the place to discuss a specific lens or lens line, do that in the appropriate forum. This is the forum to discuss optics or lenses in general, to learn about the tech behind the lenses and images. IF you have a question about a specific lens, post it in the forum about that type of camera, NOT HERE.

I have no idea, but something in me wants to say that it's a Zeiss lens, or maybe a Hexanon.

Whatever it is, beautiful photos.

bokeh kind of looks like some of the canon lenses I have, but I suck at this

I guess No. 8,10,11 should tell us something, but I wouldn't be the one to ask. No Guess.

Thanks for the kind comments. It is an '80s Chinon 50/1.9 in K mount, this was the standard kit lens for the Chinon CM-5 SLR, and probably some other models. I am not sure who made the lens, but was told once it was not Cosina but Chinon themselves.
